Stockman, Robert H. Àbdu‘l-Bahá in America. Bahá'í Publishing Trust: Wilmette, 2012. 415 pages. (Let me indulge and place one of my favorite stories here.) “Monday morning, September 9, Àbdu’l-Bahá departed Montreal for Buffalo at 9 am, leaving a crowd of sad Bahá'ís at the train station. It was a long ride; the train car’s doors and windows were closed to keep out the ashes and dust from the engine, but they got in anyway, making the car hot and dusty. The combination made Àbdu’l-Bahá extremely tired—further evidence that his childhood tuberculosis may have weakened his lungs—and he wondered aloud how he’d ever make it to California. As the train passed through Belleville, Ontario, Àbdu’l Bahá apparently spotted a four-year-old Mohawk boy sitting on a fence watching the train and waved to him. The boy, Alfred James Loft, was so surprised that he fell off the fence; the event became one of his earliest childhood memories. In May 1948, the 40- year old Loft became one of the first native Canadians to join the Bahá'í Faith.” p. 257.

This account of Jim Loft seeing ‘Abdu’l-Bahá on the train is also mentioned three times in Return to Tyendinega, Evelyn Loft Watts and Patricia Verge. One Voice Press: Maryland, 2011. Pp. 14, 33, 194-195.
